Eggs

The feathered ladies have been giving us eight eggs a day this past week. There are twelve of the ladies so four of them need to pick up the pace. We give eggs to our daughters, hubs brother, sister and parents and also to a neighbor that takes care of them if we go away. Everyone smiles when they see these eggs in the cartons.

So glad to see your post on EGGS! I have raised chickens and would still if I didn't live in town. Gosh, it's fun to gather eggs and feed the chickens. Your chickie gals are sure productive and pretty, too!

I loved this post. It brought back many happy memories of when we had our chickens. We loved them so much they were a real part of our family. It has been a LONG time since we gave it all up, but seeing entries like thid make me want to start all over. Great entry for E.Genie

ooo, fresh eggs! I love fresh eggs from the farm. Maybe it's just me but they taste much better than ones from the market. We know someone who owns a chicken farm outside of Tokyo and it was quite a treat to go out there and visit them :)

Our girls have really been slacking lately! There were two eggs from six hens today, and not one hen is an old gal. It may have something to do with our getting rid of the rooster - I think the girls felt safe when he was around.

About Me

I am a mother of 3 daughters and grandmother of 8, 6 boys and 2 girls. I love to sew, paint, garden and enjoy many different crafts. Ladybug is actually my Scottie's name and she gives my hubs and I many hours of pleasure. I dream up many ideas of which a few I manage to make happen. My husband is very talented and has a few hobbies of his own so he puts up with my many hobbies and the mess they leave behind. I cannot say this blog is about anything in particular except our love of home, family and friends with a few interesting things sprinkled in here and there.
